   Grande_latte04 posted a topic in General Nursing

5. Very torn over what I should do.

   Grande_latte04 replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Specialties

   Thanks for the insight. I do appreciate it. I have narrowed it down a little- at least to the point that I will not be staying at my current job. The pay cut (no differentials) is just too drastic ($9/hr) and while my boss promised me the day shift s...
